//   Class: CSCMotherboard
//
//   Description: 
//    When the Trigger MotherBoard is instantiated it instantiates an ALCT
//    and CLCT board.  The Motherboard takes up to two LCTs from each anode
//    and cathode LCT card and combines them into a single Correlated LCT.
//    The output is up to two Correlated LCTs.
//
//    It can be run in either a test mode, where the arguments are a collection
//    of wire times and arrays of halfstrip and distrip times, or
//    for general use, with with wire digi and comparator digi collections as
//    arguments.  In the latter mode, the wire & strip info is passed on the
//    LCTProcessors, where it is decoded and converted into a convenient form.
//    After running the anode and cathode LCTProcessors, TMB correlates the
//    anode and cathode LCTs.  At present, it simply matches the best CLCT
//    with the best ALCT; perhaps a better algorithm will be determined in
//    the future.  The MotherBoard then determines a few more numbers (such as
//    quality and pattern) from the ALCT and CLCT information, and constructs
//    two correlated LCTs.
//
//    correlateLCTs() may need to be modified to take into account a
//    possibility of ALCTs and CLCTs arriving at different bx times.
